MAVS NEWS: Grimes Trade Completed | Luka "Ecstatic" About Klay

[audiosway]

That is really interesting.  I wonder if he just got it into his head that he wanted to start?  Did the new agency get something into his head?   Did they promise they could get him more money from Dallas?   I assume the starting thing was the issue, but you never know.   

Jones vs Marshall is the known vs the unknown.   Listening to NBA guys most seem to think it is pretty close in talent for both.   They just do things differently.    I think the concerns for me is who is going to guard the elite point guards.    Second, with Klay, Luka and Kyrie on the floor together you are also missing that defense piece.  Although, i am not sure long term if DJJ starter due to some of his offensive limitations.  I would have preferred the known vs the unknown this year though.

I've heard several extremely knowledgeable scouts and NBA guys lately say that Marshall has the edge over DJJ. He's longer, stronger, a better shooter, and able to extend a play and make something out of nothing. So, he has a little playmaking in him.
